Connecting
WITH NATURE

The people-nature relationship has significant, research-supported, positive implications on individual human physical, social, and emotional health and wellness, and human communities and culture. Our relationship with nature is the foundation to our sense of belonging and purpose. Cultivating a purposeful and intentional relationship with nature connects us more deeply and authentically to our source of life, ourselves, and each other. Using the Garden as inspiration, and through a simple practice, participants will examine the ecology of natural systems, explore their ecological self, tap into nature’s wisdom, and celebrate their kinship with nature.
